Thieving Birds
Stuck in Memphis
Intro G D C G C D
Verse 1 G D
I’m stuck in Memphis for another night
C G
Had a note that said you just miss me
C D
I can tell its breaking your heart
G D
Can I come home early maybe catch a train
C G
There’s a union pacific leaving quarter to four
C D
And I hear the whistle calling my name
Chorus
C D
And the road keeps getting rougher
G / Em
As we’re moving down the line
C D
If I make it back home by sun up
G
She’ll still be mine
Verse 2
I stopped in Jackson on the way back home
I saw a friend who had a fresh bottle of wine
And you know I never turn down a loan
I promise baby I’m coming back
Working 9 to 5 means losing my mind
And you know I gotta make some scratch
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
I got home early but that girl was gone
She left a Dear John letter by the kitchen sink
Guess maybe I was away too long
Chorus
C D
And the road keeps getting rougher
G / Em
As we’re moving down the line
C D
If I make it back home by sun up
G / Em
Lord If I'm back home by sun up
C D
If I make it back home by sun up
G
She'll still be mine
